Kids and there attitudes
I love my kids very much, but they tend to push buttons all the time. I have a ten year old daughter who thinks that she is eighteen. This bugs me, because she thinks that she doesn't have to listen and can do whatever she wants. I know there are other that are out there that have had similar situations. I just love her and then my six year old daughter likes to argue all the time and feels that becuase her sister doesn't listen that she can get away with it too. I struggle everyday with this and the only thing that I tell myself is that things willl get better and that I love them very much. I not only have the two girls, but also a two and one year old sons. My two yesr is going the the terrible two's phase and that is just a trip and I just feel like pulling my hair out at times. My one year old son like to scream for everything and is getting better with his vocanbulary. I feel that everyone has their struggles with raising kids and you know what I think that it is a challenge that God gave us to do in life. I feel that kids are a blessing and that no matter what challenges play out in life you will always have unconditional love for them. My kids are my life, but I wish that my girls were better behaved than they are. I feel that these challenges of life make me a better and stronger as a whole. People say that children are a gift from God and I believe it.

Nicole, I can relate very much to you. I have an 8 year old who thinks that she is 16. My daughter is really bossy, and thinks that she can take that attitude with me. I also have two boys who are 4 and 5, and let me tell you I never realized how crazy boys act. See I didn't grow up with any brothers, just twin sisters. Then there is my 2 year old who is also going through that awful stage and I keep hoping and praying that it will pass really really soon. I don't pull out my hair, just have gained a lot of gray hairs. Your last few sentences put life with children perfectly.
ReplyDeleteNicole you are so right. Children at any age are a handful. I have three children ages 18, 16 and 12 and there is always something going on. I love them so much and would do anything for them expect breaking the law. lol
ReplyDeleteYou guts are so right. Things can get grazy with children, but your love never stops. I feel that children are really a challenge ecspecially as they get older. I wish my 10 year old wasn't so bossy and demanding and would listen better than she does. But my boys are a challenge too. I think that we all have challenges to face with our kids. Things may get rough, but we will do anything for them.
ReplyDeletei will let those that have children comment on the part challenges you face with your children. but i will offer one thing on your dog, try a kong and fill it with peanut butter before you go out next time. it sounds like he has seperation anxiety. also start going out in small increments, for a minute, then 2 minutes, and work your way up slowly in time. when you come back in reward him when he hasn't destroyed something. i understand totally, i haven't totally gotten my kids to quit tearing up my highlighters, and things they can get a hold of, but i put my trash up high where they can't get into it. because some of the stuff we throw away can make a dog very sick. good luck! if i find a book that will help, i'll pass the name of it on to you!
